Here's what clients are saying about our Private Lessons:

"I consider the money I spent for private lessons to be an investment that has already paid great dividends. I have been a dog owner for nine years, and yet I learned so many interesting things I had never known (many "light bulb moments"!) Not only did I learn specific solutions to problems I was currently experiencing, I also learned a lot about general dog psychology, which has already had a positive effect on daily life with my dogs. I had tried group lessons elsewhere on several occasions, and found them to be too chaotic to address my individual concerns. I have already referred one friend, and would not hesitate to call again myself if the need arises." - Jan with Ginger & Dusty Mason, Ohio "I adopted my labrador retriever, Bailey, when he was a year old and he had some real dominance issues. He thought he was in charge! I was a first time dog owner and was in desperate need of help. I found Cincinnati Canines on the internet so I gave Erin a call. She was wonderful! Not only did Bailey learn things but I learned a lot!!! She was great and really affordable!!!!" - Molly and Bailey Deer Park, Ohio "I was impressed with Erin's knowledge of canine behavior and her ability to explain my dogs' behaviors in terms that made me understand and appreciate the dogs' point of view. This really helped with the training methods I needed to practice and with some behaviors of mine I needed to correct. We have three dogs so pack mentality was a big issue with one dog obviously being alpha aggressive especially to the "newbie" in the pack. We were particularly concerned with walking them together since they tended to be aggressive toward dogs they perceived outside the pack. Erin suggested products and strategies to help with these dilemmas. She is a great diplomat in telling us, the owners, how to take back control of our dogs. I love the fact that she uses a positive reinforcement model based on rewards vs. punishments. My dogs have responded so positively to the training procedures she outlined for us that they really seem to enjoy behaving. In fact I want to continue training one of my dogs with Erin as a therapy dog. Erin's knowledge of dogs coupled with her strong people skills made her a life saver to our full house." - Barbara with Aiden, Junior & Ollie Mt. Lookout, Ohio "The one on one training really helped us get our puppy under control! Erin had great suggestions for breaking bad habits and Otis and Roxie responded very well to Erin's positive reinforcement and training techniques." - Janice & Matt with Otis & Roxie Hyde Park, Ohio "Erin's first lesson was to train us, very beneficial! We found training to be creative, fun, logical and successful. Most importantly Ali and I speak the same language, progressed at our own pace and Ali is a delight to have." - Toni & Tom with Ali East Walnut Hills, Ohio "Erin is a great people teacher and that is what you need because ultimately you have to lead your dog. Thanks for everything!" - Mickie and Ollie Kenwood, Ohio "We are so happy with the transformation of our dog Murphy. We are amazed with compliments from family and neighbors on how well behaved our dog is. And we can tell that our dog is much happier now, too." - Jennifer, Terry & Lilly with Murphy Liberty Township, Ohio
